Raising funds to enrich the Walton High School Community
Mrs. Hart has been a teacher now for 13 years and is currently teaching Physics 92. A fun fact about her was that she graduated from Walton. She loves to see when kids finally understand something and the light just turns on in their brains. Some of her favorite hobbies outside of teaching are Sewing, Krav Maga, going to OrangeTheory, and visiting national parks.

Mrs. Evans has been teaching for 10 years now. She helps coach the robotics team and currently teaches Physics 1. Mrs. Evans loves to read, hike and spend time with her 4 children (who attend Walton) and her husband! If you’re lucky, you might even see her walking her dogs on the way to a morning practice.

Engineering teacher, Brian Benton, was able to purchase X-Plane 11 Global Flight Simulator Software with 2020-21 teacher grant funds from Publix and Kroger donations for Walton’s Aerospace Engineering course to allow students to fly a realistic flight simulator. Students learn about flight and navigation. After students use the simulator to get the feel for flying, the teacher takes the class to the airport to fly a small airplane with an instructor.
A Science teacher was able to purchase a miniPCR Thermal Cycler with 2020-21 teacher grant funds from Publix and Kroger donations for Walton’s Science courses to allow them to study DNA. The PCR software downloads to any smart device. The fully intuitive program allows the student to monitor and analyze the process in real time. Students can easily connect with this hands-on device as a tool to understanding DNA amplification.
Dr Tina Link was able to purchase 18 Dynamic DNA Kits from 3D Molecular Designs with 2021-21 teacher grant funds from Publix and Kroger donations for Walton’s Science courses to allow them to study DNA by twisting, untwisting, replicating, and transcribing DNA.
